Anger Of

A Spider

Disclaimer: After having gotten to play 'The Heist' and finishing it recently on Spider-Man PS4, I kinda felt Peter would have been a lot more angrier then what he was with Felicia after learning she had pretty much tricked him. So this is basically me exploring that.

For Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man to the world at large, he had not had the greatest of months. As after dealing with the Devil's Breath outbreak, bringing down Dr. Octavius, and losing his Aunt, he'd been dealing with depression and rounding up various escapees from Ryker's for the past month. Sure, things were somewhat better now between him and Mary Jane and she was letting him take the spare room at her place. But Peter's grief had kept him from really going the distance again with MJ and thankfully she understood that. Peter had also taken to wearing a simple black version of his Spider suit as a way to show his grief. Even if the folks of New York thought he was doing it over the grief he felt for the lives he couldn't save and he was in no way willing to correct them on that. The less said about what J. Jonah Jameson thought of the whole thing with his new look the better in the web head's view.

And Miles, bless that kid, was so darned eager to learn how to be just like him since he had Spider powers too. Along with an extra or two thrown in that had surprised both a great deal once they had kicked in. But Peter just couldn't bring himself to do it just yet and had been finding ways to keep the kid occupied until he felt like he could begin to focus on training Miles. And now… Now, here Peter was, stuck in a damn vault belongning to Hammerhead. All thanks to Felicia Hardy. Better known to the world as the Black Cat. Whom had suckered him with a sob story and like an idiot, had fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. Frankly, it was enough to make him finally snap as he started to use his strength to bust open the vault door much to Felicia's surprise on the other side. Even looking a little nervous in the process as never had she heard him sound so… Angry.

I think I may have finally pushed him over the edge… Worried the Thief to herself in her head.

"RAUGH!" Screamed out a highly pissed off Peter as the vault door went flying, nearly hitting Felicia if she hadn't moved out of the way in time.

Said door causing a nice hole in the wall behind her and though his mask was on, Cat just knew he was angry. No, pissed off would be a better way to describe him. "Umm… Spider?"

Two Hammerhead thugs kept anything from being said but she watched in shock as he launched himself at the two without a word and knocked them out cold. "Maybe I better go."

A silent Spider just made Felicia honestly nervous and she didn't like that. But before she could get going, she found herself getting webbed up to her neck. "Hey! This isn't my idea of a good time!" Protested the Thief unhappily but it got no response from her favorite Spider.

Instead, he just hoisted her over his shoulder, made his leave from the place, and began to swing away with her still on his shoulder. Seemingly having no issue with it at all and ignoring her protests the whole time. Even beginning to worry that he was going to drop her off at a Precinct thanks to having clearly snapped finally. And all because of her… "Spider, please, don't take me to a Precinct. You know that's not the best option!" Near pleaded the woman but no response was given.

Even trying to get free but to no avail and threatening to never forgive him if he handed her over to the Police. That too didn't work and it made Felicia even more nervous and perhaps scared. I… I should have been honest with him from the start!

Eventually, to Felicia's confusion, instead of arriving at a Precinct, they arrived at a cemetary. Where she was none too gently dropped in front of two Headstones. She watched in silence as he took off his mask and just stared at her with a disappointed look on his face. One mixed with anger and… Exhaustion? "You see these two Headstones we're in front of?" He asked in a hollow voice.

"Well… We're kinda surrounded by Headstones, Spider."

"Just answer the question, Felicia!" Uncharacteristically snapped the man.

Making her flinch and not liking this situation at all but complied anyway and moments later her eyes widened when she saw the names. "B-Ben and M-May Parker!?"

His Aunt died!?

Is that why he was wearing that all black suit!? She, like others had just thought he was wearing it as a way to show his grief for all the lives lost during that Devil's Breath plague situation. But maybe… Just maybe that wasn't the case now. "For the past month I have been dealing with depression and grief over the loss of my Aunt May. Whom I could have saved but would have damned lives at the same time." Began Peter in that hollow voice that Felicia was already coming to hate.

As his voice was meant to be one of happiness and the various light hearted things she had long associated him with. To hear that he could have saved his Aunt, a woman she had unfortunately never got to meet for one reason or another but heard many a story of, but didn't cause it would have meant damning other lives shocked her. Even when it shouldn't as this was Spider-Man. A hero, something she wasn't and she honestly wasn't sure she could make a huge decision like that even if part of her thought she might be able too. "Spider… I..."

"A man I looked up too and even had for a mentor… Betrayed that bond when he lost himself in his desire for revenge against Norman Osborn. He turned this city on its head and I had more near death experiences with that situation then all 8 years I've been active. Hell, if it hadn't of been for some help I was lucky to get, I WOULD have died." He continued while ignoring her entirely as he focused his attention on the Headstones of his Uncle and Aunt.

But after several minutes of silence and looking at the Headstones of his Uncle and Aunt, he gave her his attention. But there was no love or warmth in his eyes, just a cold look that Felicia absolutely hated. Even beginning to curse herself for going too far with the man who holds her heart. "I was beginning to like the idea of actually possibly being a father. But congratulations, Black Cat, you succeeded where others have tried and failed in breaking me."

Hearing that wasn't something the bound Thief liked at all and tried to deny it and claim that wasn't what she was doing at all. Not that he would listen as he was just done as he turned away from her and began to walk off. "Get out of my city and don't come back ever again. Because if you do… You won't like what happens if I catch you." Declared Peter in a cold and dead voice before shooting out a web line and swinging away.

Leaving Felicia Hardy all alone as she sat in front of the Headstones of her love's family. "Oh God… What have I done?" Whispered the woman to herself in horror as she began to cry.

Author's Notes: I truly think this would have been a breaking point for Peter had they allowed for it to happen that way. I might do another chapter if there's any interest/demand for it.
